Odia Producer Amulya Das All Set To Redefine Iconic Dialogue ‘O Pushpa, I Hate Tears’

Bhubaneswar/Mumbai: ‘O Pushpa, I Hate Tears’, this immortal dialogue of Bollywood’s first superstar Rajesh Khanna from the movie ‘Amar Prem’ struck a chord and, perhaps, stuck with director-turned-producer from Odisha Amulya Das, prompting him to use it as the title of his first film in Hindi.

The mahurat of the film, being directed by Dinkar Kapoor, was held in Mumbai recently.

The film features stand-up comedian Krishna Abhishek, south Indian actor Jayaram Sarthak and newcomer Aadya Thakur in lead roles.

“I picked this iconic dialogue as the title of the film not only to draw audience’s attention, but also because it has a link to the story. It is a suspense-thriller and will be an interesting watch,” said Das.

Talks are on to rope in Bipasha Basu for a special appearance in a dance number for the movie, he said.

Das waited patiently and passionately for 11 years to produce his first film in Bollywood.

“We are planning to shoot one among the five songs in Odisha,” he said.

Besides Hindi, the film will also be released in Telugu and Tamil by November, he added.

This FTII-Pune pass-out had earlier assisted directors, including K Viswanath in Madhuri Dixit and Jacky Shroff-starrer ‘Sangeet’.

His Odia film ‘Samaya Hatare Dori’ and mega serial ‘Prayaschit’ telecast on ETV Odia had won good reviews.
